Psalms 26

1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

Dawid dwom. Bu me bem, Ao Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, mabɔ bra a asɛm nni ho: mede me ho too Awurade so na manhinhim.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Sɔ me hwɛ, Ao Awurade, hwehwɛ mʼakoma ne mʼadwene mu.

3 For your loving kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in your truth.

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Me ne nnaadaafoɔ ntena na me ne nyaatwomfoɔ nso nni hwee yɛ.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:

Mehohoro me nsa wɔ bembuo mu, na makɔ wʼafɔrebukyia ho ahyia, Ao Awurade,

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honour dwells.

Mʼani gye efie a wote mu ho, Ao Awurade, baabi a wʼanimuonyam wɔ no.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Mfa me kra nka nnebɔneyɛfoɔ deɛ ho nkɔ. Mfa me nkwa nka mogyapɛfoɔ deɛ ho,

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

wɔn a amumuyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ wɔ wɔn nsam na adanmudeɛ ayɛ wɔn nsa nifa ma.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

Nanso mebɔ ɔbra a ɛho teɛ. Hu me mmɔbɔ na gye me nkwa.

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Me nan sisi asase tamaa so; na dwabɔ akɛseɛ ase na mɛkamfo Awurade.
